HE HAS A WORD FOR PATTISON The Republican Candidate Shakes Hands With Thousands of Farmers and Addresses a Great Meeting of Workingmen —The State Appropria tions to Charity Discussed. Harrisburg, Sept. 22.—Judge Penny- j packer and his company of spell-bind- ; ers, including Senator Penrose and Ex- j Postmaster General Charles Emory j Smith have just concluded their first week's tour of the campaign. Every where he has spoken, Judge Penny- I packer has been greeted by great and i enthusiastic audiences that listened ; with interest to his utterances. The campaign was formally opened i |at Center Hall, Center county, on : I Tuesday of last week where the spell- j I binders addressed reveral thousand j fanners. The occasion was the annual | ' gathering of the Center County Grang- i ers. The great auditorium was crowd ! Ed and fully a thousand persons Usten ! Ed outside unable to gain admittance, j George Dale, master of the Center j j Grange, called the meeting to order i i and introduced ex-Governor Daniel H. j Hastings as presiding officer. I Prior to the opening of the mass ; j meeting in the.auditorium Judge Pen- | | n.vpacker held a reception at which he ! shook hands with the farmers and 1 their families who had assembled. Ex-Governor Hastings in introduc- | ing Judge Pennypacker referred to the j fact that there was never a war for ! our flag waged in this country that j Judge Pennypacker's ancestors did not \ ' bear an honorable part. | The Republican candidate for gov j ernor spoke for over half an hour, and j was followed'by Senator Penrose and ' Ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, it was well on towards even ing. when the meeting, one of tue larg est ever held at Center Hall, adjourned. I THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS. From Centre Hall the spell-binders went the following day to Lock Haven where an enthusiastic reception was tendered them. Then Judge Penny packer and Senator Penrose went onto , Erie where they attended the annual meeting of the State League of Repub lican Clubs. The convention was one of the most enthusiastic that has been held in years. The officers elected for j the ensuing year were: Frederick W. Fleitz, of Scranton, president; John ! R. Wiggins, John S. Durham, William | Mac Donald and John McCleary, of ! Philadelphia: Robert H. Lindsay and S. A. J. Burchfield, of Pittsburg; Wil- ! liam I. Swope, of Clearfield, and James D. Hay, of Erie, vice presidents; John Kelly, of Philadelphia, and George Lle wellyn. of Luzerne, were elected sec ! retaries; Jere. H. Shaw, treasurer, and John U. Long, of the Harry R. Wildey i Club, of Philadelphia, assistant secre- j tary. On Wednesday night Judge Penny- j packer addressed an auuience that packed the Erie Opera House. He was received with great enthusiasm by the club men present and the hundreds of citizens of Erie who gathered to hear him. Judge Pennypacker in his ad dress replied to some of Ex-Governor Pattison's criticisms of state affairs as follows: A WORD TO PATTISON. "Instead of discussing these matters (the continuation of prosperity, and the danger of tariff revision), which are of vital interest to us all and affect the life and home of every man in Pennsylvania perhaps more closely 1 than those of other American states, he (Ex-Governor Pattison) indulges in a wail, a diatribe, a denunciation of the state which he proposes to govern, and its people. Standing upon a platform which declares that this is a disgraced state, he does not hesitate to accept its j mendacities; and.in appealing to the forlorn, the unhappy and the discon- ; tented he hopes to win your favor anu j esteem. Without discrimination, and. j discovering nothing which is worthy ; of commendation, he withers and con demns alike all our local and state leg- j islative bodies. " Facts.' he says, might be cited in j connection with the appropriation bills j almost beyond belief.' He adds that the very best members afe powerless j unless they 'consent in violence of ! their consciences to arrangements and deals which corrupt men who are notn ing less than public pirates.' "This is a charge which, as you see, affects tne whole legislature—not only the wicked members, but the very best,' all of which enter Into these cor rupt deals in order to secure appropri ations. It affects further, as 1 shall show you, the governor as well. More j than that, it is a reflection upon the officers and managers of trie hundreds ; of charities all over the state, who must be cognizant of and enter into the j deals, for ii is impossible ("hat the ap propriations made to them should be I reduced without their knowledge and assent. ARE THESE MEN THIEVES? "It has been my duty as one of the trustees of the University of Pennsyl vania. and further as a member of the Valley Forge Commission, to appear before the committee of the legislature for a number of years to ask for ap propriations in behalf of that time honored Institution of learning—the University, and its hospital, and in be- j half of tue commission for its hlsioric purposes. None of the moneys re celved by us was diminished by the necessities of such deals. It was my fortune to meet there Judge Hanna. president ol the Orphans' Court of Philadelphia, representing the Homeo pathic Hospital, and many other per sons of like standing engaged in simi lar errands, and I cannot believe they any more than myself participated in such performances. I am bound to be lieve that the vivid imagination of the gentleman has run riot and escaped its bounds. "But under the constitution of Penn sylvania the governor of the state has a decided control over the appropria tions. He may at his sweet will re ject any of them, and then they must bo returned tor consideration. "During the last twenty years the gentleman has himself been governor for eight years, or for more than one third of the whole period. Where is the record of an appropriation he re jected because it appeared that it was the result of a corrupt deal? Would not this have been the appropriate time to set the seal of condemnation upon in iquity and prevent its growth for the future? Or, if it appeared that under the regime of some prior governor moneys of the state appropriated to charities had through corrupt deals been diverted unto other hands, how does it occur that the attorney general was not instructed to bring suit for their recovery? And, generally, is It not fair to inquire whether if after his unusually long service things are in such a dreadful way it wouiu be of any benefit to the community to elect him again? Would it not be wiser to en deavor to cure the/manifold ills of the state in some other way? If there be any foundation for this accusation, and if there be any truth whatever in the stories about 'rake-offs,' which the sensational and worthless newspapers bespatter in huge headlines across their ugly faces, I give warning now that should I be elected governor the charity which enteres into such a deal to secure funds will get no appropri ation if ft be possible to prevent it." GREAT PITTSBURG MEETING. Continuing their journey a brief halt was made in New Castle at the home of Hon. W. M. Brown, candidate for lieutenant-governor. The coming of the distinguished visitors had not been announced, but despite this fact hun dreds of citizens of New Castle gather ed at Senator Brown's home to pay their respects. On Friday night the candidates and spell-binders were in Pittsburg, where the largest meeting that has been known in a dozen years was held In Old City Hall. The building was packed to its capacity, the majority of those present being workingmen. All factions of the Republican party were present as a tribute of respect and en thusiasm to the party leaders. The speakers were Judge Pennypacker, Congressman Littlefleld, of .Maine; Senator Penrose, and ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith. The present week will witness the opening of the city campaign in Phila delphia will, an immense meeting at the Academy of Music, at which Judge Pennypacker will be the principal speaker. The remainder of the week will be taken up with a brief trip through the western part of the state. Beginning with next week the cam paign tour of Judge Pennypacker and his company of spell-binders will com mence in earnest and before it ends almost every county in the state win be visited. From the enthusiasm al ready manifested the campaign prom ises to be the most remarkable in the history of the state. WE SHOULD STAND FIRM Pennsylvania's DuryTodayAs Outlined By Hon. Charles Emory Smith. The following is the speech, in part, of Hon. Charles Emory Smith deliv ered at Centre Hall, Centre county: "Looking to the broader field of na tional affairs at stake are of such tre mendous consequence that no Republi can and Indeed no patriotic citizen of any party ought to feel any doubt about his duty. Shall Pennsylvania uphold the national administration or shall we cripple and paralyze it? Shall we sustain the policies which have giv en us such national greatness and glory or shall we condemn and undertake to overthrow them? Shall we vote to con tinue the unparalleled prosperity which fills the country with content and happiness and growth, or shall we vote to overshadow it with doubt and to create distrust which will bring ca lamity? Who wants togo uack to the business conditions which prevailed from 1893 to 1897? PAINFUL OBJECT LESSONS. "In deciding wuat path we ought to follow we don't have to guess. We know. We know in the light of ex perience which it would be madness to disregard. The object lessons of the past ten years blaze tue way for every man who is not blind to the truth. In 1892 we were in the full tide of tne greatest prosperity the country had ever enjoyed up to that period. I need not stop to picture the conditions. You all recall them. You all remember tue business life and the industrial ac tivity which then prevailed. Yet In a moment of madness and passion with out realizing what they were doing, the people elected a Democratic con gress and president and instantly the whole business sky was covered with clouds. The mere election of a Demo cratic congress and president created uncertainty, halted enterprise, im paired credit, checked tne wheels of In dustry and spread distrust everywhere. If this was the effect simply of the elec tion and the fears it created, the results were aggravated when the fruits wore fully realized.
